It appeared as though Herr Hitler had deliberately exploited the confidence of too simple statesmen in order' to humiliate Mr. Chamberlain in . the; eyes of the world.

Lord Crewe urged Britain to join in every possible way and to any possible extent with countries which felt that an outrage had been committed the like of which could not be repeated. The Archbishop of Canterbury said that Germany's action was an undisguised and unashamd assertion that might was right. It was a challenge to the basis of civilised order among the nations, and the only answer must be given in terms which the German rulers would understand. There must be a massing of might on the side of right. ON WAR FOOTING FRENCH INDUSTRY & ARMY POWER TO GOVERNMENT (Received March 21, 2.45 p.m.) PARIS, March 20.
